Best Counterpoint Poems
Harmonious
bodies entwine,
writhing like serpents
between the stave-filled
sheets
Thank You for the sunshine
Thank You for the rain.
Thank You for the counterpoint
The heart throb and the pain
Welcome in the darkness,
the Mother’s warm wet womb.
Welcome in the darkness night;
the cold comfort of the tomb.
Understand the precious gift,
of fire in the dark.
Understand the restful relief,
of darkness in the spark.
Don’t rage against the dieing light
or damn the daily dark.
Just remember, we will ever bloom
with Life’s never ending spark.
The Cynicism Trap
apathetic engaged
withdrawn open, free
distrusting entrusting
pessimistic feeling hopeful in outlook
always expects failure ahead strives onward for success
skeptic about the future to come altruistic in hope for the future
selfishness, deceitful, dishonest truthful, honest, cooperative
emotionally detached, withdrawn engaged, committed, sharing
gives up easily, becomes inactive resilient, determined to stay on
alone, stifling creativity and connections encourages partnerships, joint efforts
Here life comes on and departs
one writes and erases
time forgets nothing
but nothing warns either...!
. Near miss Hit the shoulder
The know all Knows enough to know better
Well stacked Last in, first out
Awfully good Terribly impressive
Original copy authentic counterfeits
Wise old fools Smarties in clown shoes
Virtual reality Wearing fancy glasses
Silent scream Parenting in public
Almost exactly Near enough, thereabouts
Some Tax relief A very short-lived miracle
Business ethics Hidden in the fine print
It’s Bittersweet what a lemons dream of
Alone together The perfect blind date
Exact estimate Precisely give or take
Foolish wisdom Advice everyone ignores
An Open secret Whisper in megaphone
Glorious defeat Lost magnificently
Working holiday Emails from the yacht
Echoing silence Needs even bigger ears
Honest disguise Fooled even the mirror
Same difference identical opposites
Cruel to be kind You'll thank me tomorrow
Odd airline food Altitude without attitude
Controlled chaos My filing system
Negative growth Shrinking with confidence
Social distancing Introverts living the dream
A definite maybe Committed to indecision
Simply so elegant But no simpler
AI's is so infallible A million monkeys proofreading
Invisible footprints The smell of shoes
Beginning finished Chapter One
Alone in the crowd A hit in Social media
Passive aggression Weaponized politeness
Certain uncertainty Absolutely ..Perhaps
Borrowed originality I invented your idea
Military intelligence Marching the goose step
Transparent mystery Plain as day is night
Some sweet sorrows Chocolate after heartbreak
Remembered future Tomorrow's nostalgia
Artificial intelligence Still can't fold the washing
